Never stop writing because you have run out of ideas.

The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself.

The distracted person, too, can form habits.

Every image of the past that is not recognised by the present as one of its own threatens to disappear irretrievably.

The killing of a criminal can be moral-but never its legitimation.

Never stop writing because you have run out of ideas. Fill the lacunae of inspiration by tidily copying out what is already written.

The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
